She taught English for six years in the public schools, taught various ages/courses for seven years for homeschool co-ops, and even had a stint homeschooling her own children.

Brandi Matovina
Brandi is a mom to three kiddos, and loves nothing more than going on day-time adventures with her children. Brandi has been teaching art since 2010, and loves seeing what the kids in CCE classes create. Brandi likes to spend her free time on art commissions in encaustic (an ancient medium dating back to the Fayum mummy portraits), and catching a few endorphins through workouts (always snuck in during kiddo nap times). 

Darci Byrnes
Darci Byrnes has been homeschooling for 15+ years and been a part of CCE for the last four years. She is an avid theatre goer, from the evening performances put on by her children in the living room to the elaborate productions at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. It is all delightful! She has directed plays for other co-ops in the past and is very excited to bring drama to CCE this year! …. pun intended 😉
